Garner....Party of 5: Christmas is coming!

Holidays are so much fun with a child! Even though Jaxon is still a little young to really know what is going on, it makes it better for me just taking him around and doing fun Christmas things! On Saturday December 4th the Science Center put on a Holiday Wonderland that we went to. They had gingerbread cookie decorating, fun holiday games, a little train ride, a cowboy Santa (yes you heard me right - we are in TEXAS) and much more! Jaxon had a good time - when we went to take a picture with cowboy Santa, the Santa tried to put him on top of the huge horse... Jaxon did not like that so I had to hold him for the picture - but other than that it was a huge success. Also, the stake here in Lubbock (there is only one stake here) put on a nativity Christmas program thing from December 2 - 4 so after Jaxon and I went to the Holiday wonderland we went over there. It was BEAUTIFUL! They were using this as a missionary opportunity so all the missionaries took shifts and would be there to answer any questions about the church. They had hundreds of nativities and live music with a choir while you were looking at them all. They also had the primary room set up with nativities kids could play with along with costumes for them to dress up in and get their pictures taken and then they put them in a cute Popsicle stick frame that was made to look like the stable. It was such a neat thing and it seemed like a huge success. When I went it was really busy so I hope it was like that the entire time! Here are just a few pictures of these events!
